Hey John, thanks for reaching out!
Yes, you can replace your Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes # 23-105-106 with the Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes # 23-180-181. The only difference is going to be the strength of the magnet for the brakes.

Hey John, how did the swap to the Dexter 7,000‑lb brake assemblies work out on your trailer? It’d be great to know if the stronger magnets gave you the braking feel you wanted. Your update could make it easier for others comparing these two kits.
